First for Necrons!

1st for Space Marines are boring and bland.

So why was everybody assblasted over this guy?

...

Oh shit Veeky Forums, I got a package from GW!

I wonder what could be inside...

very cheap smite that you can't shoot at unless it's closest.

Screeching over 30 pt possible periling into a baby daemon prince.

Can't Bombard the Death Guard

How do I make a fun TS list that doesn't involve Magnus or Ahriman?

Also what Warcoven should they be apart of?

CORSAIRS

We don't care.

A lawsuit.

five of those 30th Anniversary Primaris Sergeants

I'd love it if they found the STC template for something that's more or less blatantly a regular car at sci fi standards, and then stapled some guns on it. Maybe a rear arc one in place of a trunk and a couple of forward ones as well. You can call it something equivalent to the General Lee and it'd fit right in.

The Ollianus Pious?

All good guesses. Let's grab my favorite trusty pocket knife, and find out!

I'm currently in the process of building a super cheesy Emperor's Children army with a hard rock/heavy metal theme. I'm hoping to make cultists that are moshers for close combat squads and other general groupies for the autoguns,but have no idea how to start them beyond converting up a few empire flagellants. Anybody have any ideas or recommendations?

Shove the knife up your ass

Dubs decide what traitor legion I paint and use.

About to get betrayal at calth box and chaosify the marines.

Iron Warriors, be bland

Night Lords

Emperor's Children, my dude.
I'd say wait on actually starting them, though. We can be hopeful they get the DG/TS treatment.

please dont make this take forever for some shitty joke

Who are the blue marines below the World Eaters?

Rollin for Thousand Sons.

Because he makes smite easily spammable

That sounds painful! I'll pass.

Well, unless Venomthropes/Zoanthropes are jokes now, I don't think there is one.

Night lords

Thousand Sons

Alpha Legion

Dark Angels

Violaters

Slaaneshi warband, cool dudes, sadly forgotten by GW. May they rest in peace.

shit taste confirmed

Dark Angels

Clearly not.

Fair enough I'll look them up.

Oh nice, it actually is dragon dildos for once

This is possibly the gayest time that someone actually delivered. Next up...... what's in the laundry basket. (Hint, it's laundry)

...

Go for Sons.

Sorry, but they are both garbage. Malanthropes are Venomthropes but better in every way, and zoanthropes will very rarely make their points back, and dramatically lose their usefulness after they fall below 4 models

How bad would it be if I proxied a daemonhost as an eversor or culexus assassin?

After having reread eisenhorn, I feel like that would be a more accurate representation of a daemonhost than the T4 W1 5++ we have now

...

World Eaters.

Then buy some Blood Warriors and convert them up as Khorne Bezerkers

The backgrounds for these are so unfitting

I take offense to that.

Accurate

We're not done yet! We also got the newest White Dwarf, with 2 massive posters! And also in a weird cardboard cover thing.

I'm mainly getting them because I only had 2 Finecast Zoanthropes and 1 Finecast Venomthrope, which means I couldn't field them as squads anymore. Venoms still seem good though.

That's the point.

Forgive the question, but what is the problem with 1d4chan's tactics?

01010010 01101111 01101100 01101100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01010011 01101111 01101110 01110011 00101110

Alpha Legion

>Playing models for minmaxy reasons instead of picking what you think is cool.

Trouble with Venomthropes is the 3 " range is horrifically short, and they are so squishy they tend to get shot off the board turn one and the buff is lost. Malanthropes do the job better as they also provide all important synapse, and as characters they cannot be picked off as easily.

It enforces meta. If everyone only used the best models, no one would have fun.

...

Become Alpharius, user.

They aren't even tactics, they're just explaining what each unit does and could do out loud for retards who don't already know. Also whatever little actual tactics they have are WAACfaggotry

Word bearers. Paint and play the best worst legion you can.

>Violator legion

The fuck?

Show the Emperor's puppers what a true wolf looks like!

And that's it! Yeah, kinda short unboxing, but I live in the middle of bumfuck no where, so kinda rely on deliveries for stuff.

While I will agree that the 3" nerf was a bit much, my local meta are kinda dumb and almost never target the Venomthropes first. Though, I will look into getting a Malanthrope now that you say that.

I love that the taurox prime can burn around at mach 10 and still hit on 4+

Word Bearers

Alpha Legion

Black Legion

So let me get this straight...

The eldar are reforming their empire? The ynnari gonna get an actual army of Ynnari? Also Exodites fucking when?

Things shall get loud now!
Emperor's Children

So what is everyones projections for the Admech codex? Are we getting buffs, nerfs, barley any changes?

Take them with a grain of salt because most of them will be meme/gimmick tactics.

But they are fucking hilarious.

black legion

Fuck the meta. I'm getting 300pts worth of fun and I'm going to tackle a storm raven to death with my breaching laser before 20 angry batmans hop out and begin shitting up the place.

TRIPS OF SLAANESH

So it has been decided. Things shall get loud.

As everything with 1d4, it's okay as a quick overview of things, but you should take every word there with a mountain of salt.

Luna Wolves

Eldar players:

I'm gonna be doing 3 10 man Dire Avenger squads in twin-lance wave serpents at a tournament this weekend. The other half of the list is two groups of Farseer(Guide/Doom) + 8 ShuriCannon bikes.

Would you suggest running the shimmershield, or is the squad 5+ save not worth it? I'm weighing the cost vs the loss of 4 shots.

>Any particularly devastating catastrophes you think we’ve missed? Think that the rise of the T’au rivals the arrival of the Tyranids in terribleness?

That's a good question by GW. Do the T'au Empire's rise in the galaxy equals or is greater than the arrival of the Tyranids?

>Dire Avengers in a tournament
Well there is your first problem.
Shields though if you're going to run them

...

Its that time again everyone...

POST HQ's!

So what's the best tartarus bodyguard load out for sticking with Gabe Angelos?

I picked up the start of a guard army recently, and I'm playing 1000 pts against nids tomorrow. Can anyone give me some recommendations?

What I have available:
>About 50 cadians, including 3 heavy weapons squads(2 lascannon, 1 heavy bolter)
>creed/kell
>pask
>a commissar
>a callidus assassin
>a command squad
>3 leman russ battle tanks with conversion cannons available for...I think demolishers


right now, what I have is probably pretty shitty:
>vanguard detachment(Imperium)
>creed(warlord)
>Kell, commissar, callidus
>2 infantry squads, each with a plasma gun and a voxcaster

>spearhead detachment(Astra Militarum)
>tank commander in a battle tank, with a storm bolter, heavy flamer, and heavy bolter sponsons
>2 leman russ battle tanks with a heavy stubber, 3 heavy bolters, and battle cannon
>heavy weapons team with 2 lascannons and a heavy bolter

eventually, I'm planning to convert more to a steel legion army, so lots of artillery, but for now, I have no idea how to build a proper 1000 point guard list.

>One led to the destruction of hundreds of worlds, inflicted heavy losses to the Ultramarines in their home turf, nearly wiped out the Blood Angels, and the Octarius war is shaping up to spill over into nearby sectors and heavily damage them
>The other is the T'au
No.

>40ktheory: Are the Tyranids descendants of Tau?

Well I mean, shit on me if you like, it's what I have and I am having fun making my Hotline Aeldari / Craftworld Miami 80s retrowave neon paint scheme. I'm not all that concerned about winning as much as I am having fun with hot shit models hosing dudes with space elf ninja stars.

Don't these guys just look like the main cast of an anime to anyone else?

Both are colorful, make loud screeching noises, are ugly, and incredibly annoying. So my vote is yes.

Necromunda Eschers might be a good base for the groupies when they come out

Nearly wiping out is irrelevant. It took like 30 years or something for Ultramarines to be back to full Chapter strength after the Battle of Macragge (proven by I AM CATO SICARIUS invading Damnos). Imperial Fists have been wiped out by Orks. Blood Angels are literally the whipping boys of the setting, they've been nearly wiped out 3 times.

Not shitting on you my dude
Just saying they are pretty crap for what they cost

Is that Assholetep?

She'll be included in my next army photo, these were the quick snaps I got when I finished her. Fuck painting faces.

Chk'rrrrrr

Didn't the Blood Angels almost get wiped out by Tyranids twice?

Does she have fucking eyeshadow user?

Emperor save me

>sees Assholetep
>not 100% sure it's Assholetep
>planet devoid of life the next day

I think you'd be better off fitting asurmen in there if you're going that deep into dire avengers

Yes. One of their Chapter Masters came up against the largest Space Hulk to date and sent his entire Chapter in to clear it only to realise there were tens of billions of genestealers in it. They managed to blow it but only 75 BA were left.

Next time they were nearly wiped out by the Black Legion because BA's got lured into fighting them and I think only 100 or something survived, which left Dante as the highest ranking officer so he got CM just because nobody else was left.

Then in Devestation of Baal, 30,000 Space Marines from BA's and their successors kill tens if not hundreds of billions of Nids for the longest wave number in history (they survived 19 waves before the 20th would kill them) and only got saved by Girlyman. 5 Chapter Masters died. If we go on the 1,250 being the number of every chapter, then there were 24 chapters there.

Irrelevant as Cawl had huge vats of Primaris to give them, it was a way of justifying switching to all Primaris as BA's since BA are GW's best sellers.

My God what I have done
